Cruise missiles are usually self-guided. Drones are often remotely piloted with some autonomous functions (loitering, station keeping, return to base). No idea what the case is for these new AQ400 units. Given the usage of the term “drone”, my guess is that these will be remotely piloted.
So, modern V-1 buzz bombers. Even the launch ramp sled thing in the article looks like a similar concept. Everything old is new again!
I hate this stupid word ‘drone’
Cruise missiles have all the same navigation and course correction tech in it.
These are the same thing with a propeller instead of a rocket and less payload.

They aren’t remotely piloted. Way too easy to jam.
Hey, if it works.
Hey, if it works.
V1 was a much larger pulsejet (hence the buzz) with a third of the range and ten times the payload of this thing
